Morning with the
Toronto Symphony Orchestra

Rae and Perry Dellio Fund
Toronto Symphony Volunteer Committee

High school music students and their teachers attend morning rehearsals in Roy Thomson Hall to observe the orchestra's final preparations before a concert. This is a unique learning experience for students to listen and learn from professional musicians. Students will be seated in the choir loft (directly above and around the musicians) for most of these rehearsals, in order to derive the maximum benefit from this experience.

Teachers receive programme notes in advance in order to prepare the students for their visit to the symphony. A member of the Toronto Symphony Volunteer Committee meets the students half an hour before the rehearsal begins to discuss the programme, soloist, guest conductor and various aspects of the hall. During the rehearsal break, a TSO musician or guest artist speaks with the students, answering their many questions regarding the music, rehearsal technique, or even life as a professional musician. This programme is available to high school music classes only and is free of charge.
